Only to see that Gu Shaoting was still holding her hand, Shu Pan felt a bit awkward, not knowing whether to retract it or not. She also noticed that he was lightly rubbing the palm of her hand with his thumb, causing a sudden electric sensation that seemed to go straight to her brain.

Seeing him in this dazed state, not speaking, she thought he might not have heard her. After a while, she whispered again, “You should still drink less in the future.”

At this moment, Gu Shaoting really appeared as if he had taken off his usual armor, his entire demeanor gentle and harmless.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by his gaze, her face slightly reddened. She then pulled her hand back and said, excusing herself to the restroom.

In truth, Shu Pan had no intention of going to the restroom. She had used that as an excuse to escape the awkward situation. As she walked down the hallway, she was just about to turn back when she realized she did actually need to use the restroom. So, she headed in that direction.

As she returned and was about to open the door, she suddenly heard Song Can’s voice from the single-patient room where Gu Shaoting was, “Shaoting, what’s going on? You were fine last night. Where’s Shu Pan? Where did she run off to? Is this how a wife should behave?”

Her mother-in-law’s string of reproachful words shot out like bullets from a machine gun.

Shu Pan’s hand on the doorknob paused for a moment, hesitating whether to open it or not.

“She just stepped out for a moment, everything’s fine. I’ll be more careful in the future,” Gu Shaoting responded to Song Can’s questions. Somehow, he felt a bit uncomfortable after hearing Song Can’s words.

“Shaoting, you scared me to death. When Auntie told me, I couldn’t believe it. You shouldn’t scare people like that in the future,” a tender and sweet voice followed, obviously belonging to Tong Fei. She held Gu Shaoting’s hand and shook it. Since she was facing the door, she vaguely saw a figure outside. Could it be Shu Pan?

“Shaoting, look, Feifei is genuinely concerned about you. She was going to call me to go shopping, but when I told her you weren’t feeling well, she immediately came over. Don’t you feel her genuine care for you?” Song Can’s words felt like needles piercing into Shu Pan’s heart, stinging and painful.

Standing by the door, witnessing the scene inside, her eyes slightly dimmed, and a trace of bitterness spread from her heart to her throat.

It turned out that both of them came to visit. Inside that room, they seemed more like a family. Shu Pan snapped back to her senses, but she didn’t dare to take another step forward.

Gu Shaoting listened to these two women, their words volleying back and forth, and his head started to throb unusually. He pressed his temples hard, “I’m fine.”

Tong Fei’s radiant face appeared in his eyes. Despite her worried expression, it seemed like she hadn’t triggered any emotions in him.

He quietly withdrew his hand, avoiding contact with Tong Fei. This obvious action made her feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, stiffening her entire body.

Gu Shaoting didn’t notice the figure at the door. He was just wondering where Shu Pan had gone.

Shu Pan quietly released her grip on the doorknob, gently closed the door, her mind in disarray. She walked quickly, her footsteps not stopping.

Before long, Tong Fei saw the door closing and used an excuse to come out as well.

Shu Pan didn’t know where she was going, but she could hear a conversation between a man and a woman behind the emergency room door.

Before she could even realize what was happening, a slender, fair finger appeared in front of her. It suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her over without a word.

“Ah!” Shu Pan exclaimed in surprise.

“Darling, am I that scary?” The lazy voice of a man sounded with a hint of affection.

Startled, Shu Pan’s eyes flew open and she saw the man embracing her.

A handsome face, slightly tilted almond eyes, a charming smile, and dressed in a white coat—he was a doctor.

Looking across from him, there was a woman with delicate features, her eyes resembling pear blossoms after the rain—pitiful and helpless..
